Sometimes, I even wondered if I was making her uncomfortable by constantly observing her, but there was so much to learn. She’s incredible. Even in stillness, she stays deeply connected to her character. Every little detail she held onto as Banu was just fabulous.”

Speaking about Emraan Hashmi, she praised his effortless approach to acting. “Emraan does everything with such ease. He can be casually chatting with you about life one moment, and the next, when the camera rolls, he’s completely in character. It’s so seamless — he just switches on and off with no visible effort. That’s something I truly want to learn, because being able to enter and exit a character so naturally is such a rare skill. Nothing about his performance ever feels forced.”

The same with Yami. Both of them have given valuable inputs, but what I love is how respectfully they do it. They never say, ‘You should do this.’ Instead, they say, ‘If I were you, I might try it this way.’ That approach made it feel collaborative.”She added that she has always been open to feedback and often sought their suggestions. “It’s my first film, so I know I don’t have all the answers. You may know your craft, but you’re still human; sometimes you miss things. Being receptive and learning from people like Yami and Emraan has been an incredible part of my journey.”
